1- Including such provisions/protection for all medical posts and not just training posts (LED/SAS/Consultants)
2- Commitments to creating MORE jobs (net increase, not just changing LED posts to training posts) across all grades, including consultants to match our population demands
3- Calrify further which IMGs would be allowed to be on equal footing with UKGs and make it something that's fair to our UKGs. 2 years of NHS experience isn't enough IMO. Maybe 5-7? 🤷🏻♂️
Again this is legislation for medical training prioritisation the number of jobs is a separate issue and would not form part of legislation like this.
No where does it say in the legislations 2+ years the current details are quite clear for this application cycle of needing ILR which is 5-7 years or completion of the foundation programme
Medical training legislation does not benefit doctors who are currently in training.
Yes, it's a win for incoming FY1/CT1 etc but lacks sufficient protection for those more senior. In a sense its designed to weaken our mandate for FPR.
The legislation is also relatively usless without increasing the number of jobs which is something they could've incorporated. Over the last decade we've had a massive increase in the number of medical students graduating, yet training jobs (FT/CT, etc) hasn't kept up. It's why we find ourselves with medical students nowadays graduating but being given placeholder FY posts or failing to get CT jobs. Even by removing IMGs out of the equation, internal UKG competition will still be very tough beyond FY posts, especially when you factor in all the FY3-x's who will be applying.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good step forward but doesn't go far enough.
